    Thats the main reson i cut mine down when it rains you have to contend with rain on both sides of the screen but i also wear a full face helmet so another piece of plastic to try and see through and when its cold the heat from the engine rises and fogs the screen as well

    Yes helmets are compulsary in Oz looking at mine after the accident dont think i would have survived without it i also believe that there should be a minimun dress standard to stop persons riding in shorts and teeshirts.

    Left the Caltex servo at Batemans Bay 160klms from home for a overnight ride in the pouring rain heading to Tathra anothe 160 klms south with 2 other riders, about 5klms south the RTA has taken out the left hand lane dropped the speed limit to 60klms and painted out the double white lines on a slight corner at the start of their taper. Well the rear hit the paint and i was gone high sided slid throughin over the road into the oncoming lane (thank God none was coming)and hit my head and various other parts of my body on the gaurdrail i was unconsious for a few mins Ambo arrived dont remember to much about the fall but thankfolly the 2 mates and a Dr on his way to work fixed me up.I was in i fair bit of pain and had to endure a 25 min Ambo ride to Moruya for a CT scan,after discharge (Noeline wife )had driven to meet me and as always to take the sore body home.In the hospital i was breathalysed and the Highway cop told me that normally i would have been charged with Neg Driving but on the testimony of the 2 mates and the Dr and he could see what had happened he was going to let me off.As you can imagine the bike took a beating Noeline and Alana(Daughter) went to the NRMA holding yard in the Bay to retreive my gear fron the panniers one bloke said rightoff one said probably repair the thing is parts are fairly rear in Oz as not a lot of XVZ around in wreckers and new body parts would be impossible to obtain.After all i am feeling a bit battered and bruised but im alive to talk about it thankfully.

    Change my oil at 5,000klm intervals filter also i dont see any reason that these engines wont do 200,000klms + considering ive had sports bikes that have bigger milage than this and rev a lot higher

    How big are these boxes i have a Great Dane

    I cut my stock shield on a RSTD down 100mm for the same reason i wanted to see over it in the rain on reflection i should have done it in increments of 25mm as i think it would have been better at 50 mm taller.After 12,000klms ive got used to it and i think vision is more important than the slight discomfort it causes.

    Not to long ago i installed the Barnett pressure plate and used the same friction and steel plates must say i am now very happy with the results.A word of warning DO NOT be tempted to pull in the clutch lever until the pressure plate is sitting correctly and bolted down as this will bottom out the slave cylinder and you will never get the plate into the correct spot dont ask me how i know this.
